VIDEO: Butler's heroic late triple almost takes Bulls-Pistons to 5th OT
Jennifer Stewart / USA TODAY Sports
Jimmy Butler might be a literal machine.
In a game in which he played 56(!) minutes and scored 43 points - including 13 in the fourth(!) overtime - as his Chicago Bulls went toe-to-toe with the Detroit Pistons, Butler still somehow had the energy for some last-second heroics.

With the Bulls trailing by four and under 10 seconds remaining in quadruple overtime, Butler hit this absurd 3-ball to cut the deficit to one and momentarily make a fifth extra frame seem possible.
After the Pistons hit two free throws, Butler got a chance to tie the game, but his 3-point heave at the buzzer missed wide, and Detroit escaped with a 147-144 win.
